Subject: Re: Can I change a 3 way cabinet to a subwoofer


Could you get decent results? Maybe.
Would you? Probably not.
You will need to select the driver to get the best from the box, you may have to go through hundreds of drivers/T/S parameters to find any that may make a good companion.
Normally you approach this from the other direction. Select the driver, model the T/S parameters with box/tuning then build box and test/adjust.

The sub- should work at lower frequencies than a bas speaker. The 3way box may be too small to get reasonable efficiency from most drivers.
